More than three decades ago my husband and I realized that we had a problem with a child who was beginning to descend into drug dependency.  Not knowing about the benefits of my own inner strength through the practice of meditation, my daily family life began to disintegrate into a constant struggle of anger, hard feelings and disbelief in any solution. Although I was raised in a religious and beautiful family, I could not access my belief system in God  and “let go” of the problems and situations.  Struggling many years in this turmoil, life was to take a new direction.  I was introduced to a teacher of Raja Yoga Meditation through a mutual friend.  My journey into oblivion stopped in mid stream and my connection with the Divine was restored, through the Brahma Kumaris’ teachings and knowledge. As God’s  instrument, I now know His Power and His Strength will give me the solutions I so desperately seek.  As an actor on this stage of life I have found my inner core of Peace, Love and Wisdom.  God’s guidance has given back to me the life I so earnestly desired.  His protection, His gift of the abundant blessings and knowledge, inspire me each and every day.   In silence, I practice Meditation and although I am just a novice of several years, the “search of many lifetimes” has brought me home to the beauty of my  own loving soul combined with the Supreme  Soul, God Shiva.  I have become detached and loving with our child and send wishes of love and pure feelings to him daily.  I know that God will help him find his highest and his best and that the survival of his life is completely in his control, if he chooses to make the right choices and decisions.  I can only pray that he will find his life again and as a “child of the Universe” he will take benefit and wisdom from God when he sees fit to do so.  In the meantime, I have found my own Peace, my own Power and Love for the rest of our family and friends with the help of many, many Godly Souls that I have encountered on this journey.  The kindness, care and support has sustained my husband and I and continues to do so, with our greatest  teacher, friend and confident, The Supreme Soul, God, Shiva.  May His many blessings continue in my life and the lives of those  near and dear to me.
